The name of marginatum was given to this species, from 
a broadish white irregular stripe along the margin on the 
upper surface, which, however, is not always evident, either 
in the younger leaves, which are at first covered all over 
with a woolly powdery pubescence, or when they are grown 
- old, but is most remarkable in the intermediate stage ; for 
the white tomentum disappearing gradually from the upper 
surface, remains longer near the edge than on the rest of the 
leaf, and thus produces the white margin. =
